On Friday, December 12, Dental Assisting seniors visited New England Orthodontic Labs in Andover. Students toured the facility, observed modern orthodontic technologies in action, and gained firsthand insight into a local business success story. The visit provided valuable exposure to the cutting-edge technology driving modern orthodontics and real-world applications of their coursework.

On Friday, December 12, Drafting and Design sophomores designed and built winter-themed holiday homes using cardboard and modeling materials as an introduction to model building. Students from the Little Knights Learning Lab and Early Childhood Education were invited to tour the festive display and view the creations. The preschoolers enjoyed exploring the houses and left with personalized 3D-printed snowflake ornaments made by the Drafting and Design students.

On Tuesday, December 16, a deserving recipient received a refurbished vehicle through Second Chance Cars, an organization that provides affordable transportation to individuals entering the workforce. Since 2020, Northeast’s Auto Collision and Auto Tech programs have partnered with Second Chance Cars to provide vehicles for community members in need. Students inspect and repair mechanical systems, restore bodywork, and complete full detailing to prepare each vehicle for donation. During the holiday season, students were especially excited to present the completed vehicle to its recipient. The partnership offers valuable hands-on training while making a positive impact in the community.

On Wednesday, December 17, the Culture Connect Club hosted Rhythms Around the World, bringing students together to celebrate global cultures through music and movement. Students learned and participated in traditional dances including Kompa, Bachata, Salsa, line dances, and Merengue. The event encouraged students to step outside their comfort zones, try something new, and have fun while promoting cultural awareness, inclusivity, and community building.

On behalf of the National Honor Society, juniors Miguel Rezende Santos (Robotics) and Jarell Portillo (Auto Tech) recently delivered a box of donated toys to Housing Families in Malden, MA as part of a holiday toy drive. The drive was organized to give back to families in need during the holiday season, ensuring children have the opportunity to select special gifts of their own. This effort reflects the National Honor Society’s ongoing commitment to service, generosity, and supporting the community beyond our school.

Sophomore culinary students Za-Lea Baker (Revere), Amayo P'otong Okeny (Woburn), Nevaeh Muniz (Revere), and Seren Frye (Revere) recently recorded another episode of Northeast Cooks at Revere TV. The episode highlights their culinary skills and features a lesson on preparing teriyaki turkey rice bowls. Click the image below to watch.
